Instead of creating new threads, please do your invite-sharing business in the comments of this thread, be it offering up a spare one, or requesting one.

I'd appreciate if everyone could include either the tag [REQUESTING] or [OFFERING] in their comments, to make finding comments via Ctrl-F easier. Also, one more rule: if you received your invite, or found someone to send it to, please edit your post to reflect this—removing the tags mentioned above would be nice too.

These things above are only recommendations, here come the actual rules (as per Google's requirements):

Everyone requesting must be at least 18 years old

Everyone requesting must be a US resident

Requesters must be able to pick up their Google Glass in either NY, SF, or LA

Requesters will also be required to pay around $1500 for the device itself

I know, fellow Europeans, it sucks, but requesting an invite in spite of this will just be a waste of time :(

[REQUESTING] for a friend of mine, Todd Coleman, tpcoleman@ucsd.edu, is doing some work on subvocal processes and recognition, and I told him I would loan him mine before I found out about the no forwarding policy, and never picked mine up since I wasn't doing anything cool on my own. Anyway, telepathic glass seems like too good an opportunity to pass up, so if you could send an invite his way, you would be my best friend forever.

[REQUESTING] Interested in exploring the day to day applications glass could be used for as a student going to college. As well as being able to get my hands on Glass hardware and start developing applications for it to fill the void of usability while in college.

[REQUESTING] I'm interested in exploring Glass as a HUD/navigation aid for homebuilt/experimental aircraft. I'm in Kentucky, but will drop everything and start driving towards NYC the moment I get an invite. Willing to perform sexual favors, just no kissing on the lips.

[REQUESTING] Hey, my name is Jake and I was confused as a Google Glass Explorer by a few Redditors last night. I DO NOT own a Google Glass, however as a student and as a budding photographer, Google Glass would be extraordinarily useful to me. I'd be documenting my labs in class and using the maps a lot, as I am currently moving to San Francisco.

[Requesting] I am in sales and i spend my life around the world. Went to 29 countries in the last 5 years. The glass would be incredible to test and and help improve in my field. Having information quickly is one of the most important aspect of sales !

[REQUESTING] I'd love to (as a composer for films) develop a HUD like metronome for modern musicians/composers to take advantage of in music production as well as several other toolkit concepts that would greatly enhance the workflow of producing and recording music. I'd also love to have the opportunity to take people behind the scenes at what it's like to go from concept, mockup, to final recording in a truly POV way.

[REQUESTING] - I want to be a part of the future and help shape what glass will be. I'd love to try coding for a device with a wildly different form factor and see what I can create. Am interested in OCR and object recognition.

Nope. Wasn't us. We're not "patient oriented". We're more on the provider side, so doctors and nurses will use our software. So far every other software in this area is straight out of 90's. So doing something with Glass hasn't really been thought about.

That's why I'm so interested in prototyping something like that.

Imagine a doctor wearing glass walks into a room and glass could read a bar code or something to identify a patient. I know the cooler thing would be facial recognition but there's 500 concerns around privacy and what not. Also since the software we make is considered a medical device by FDA and has to undergo approval something like facial recognition would never make it past all the use cases where this might be used.

Right now I'm sort of prototyping an interface doctors can use during surgery using leap motion, but that doesn't have any where near the accuracy I hoped it would have still it's quite an upgrade over having a nurse just to use a computer for you while you operate. It's an exploration at this point.

Back to Glass however, there's plenty of potential to improve the doctor - patient interaction. A lot of doctors struggle with software and there is an interesting dynamic between showing a patient your screen because there might be information that you don't want them to see because it might freak them out but you as a doctor still want to see it. That's where glass could come in. Along with 500 other use cases.

[REQUESTING] Really looking forward to seeing what can be done with the API. I live in SF so no trouble there. I also think it would be cool to see what integrations can be done between Reddit and Glass.

[REQUESTING] As an aspiring live performer (dj/vj) I'd love to use Glass to improve user participation/feedback during my sets. I would also like to use my hobbyist programming skills to develop new applications for the device.

[REQUESTING] I'm a developer, and as a hobby I bake (scones, cookies, coffee cake, etc). I'd like to write an app that assists people as they bake: starting with what to get from the fridge, what the current step is, and what they need to prepare for next. Also, since I'll be able to take pictures using glass, I can create instructions that have photos of what to expect at each stage.

Just to confirm: I'm old enough, a US resident, have the money to afford it on hand, and have the time and means to travel to SF to pick it up. Now all I need is some awesome reddi-friend to send me an invite.

[REQUESTING] I'm not sure if the invites are still around but i would absolutely love to get an invite :) i live in NYC, 26 years old and I'm an IOS developer. the reason i want glass is simple, i want to write cool software for glass! please let me know if i can get an invite, thanks!

[REQUESTING] Hey guys, I'm a current glass explorer and I have gotten right to work porting the app "Couple" to glass as I use it everyday and I'm working with Onstar to bring a HUD to lock and view other information about your GM vehicle the problem is there is one glass for multiple people in our development team. We have no intention of charging for our glassware. If we had two pairs it would be much easier to develop for.

[REQUESTING] Hi my name is Andrew and I am a journalism major and aspiring developer. I am currently learning to code for iOS and Android. Although I am new to writing code, I'd love an opportunity to try Glass and make some interesting Glassware. I'm addition, I would submit any and all feedback to Google so they can improve their product.

For what it's worth, I can verify that /u/irvinefan is a Glass Explorer. On the other hand, as he said, he does not have an invite yet. So bet to reserve one, maybe, for when he gets to invite someone?

[REQUESTING]
I am a father of 2, first generation american. Most of my family live in another county. My kids and i skype and Hangout with family in Malaysia with (almost) every weekend. It would be really cool to have hangouts with my family at home while doing fun stuff with my kids, instead of just being stuck in the house.

[REQUESTING] I am a recent graduate from Michigan State University and former ASUS student employee (hopefully future full time employee) and I would like to use Glass to document some really exciting projects currently underway at MSU with some very high profile reporters who covered a certain major event. We're hoping to do a professionally produced round table discussion as part of our Media Sandbox "Purple Table" series. I'd love to use Glass to document the production and how students are working on this firsthand.
I am more than willing to travel to NYC for pickup.

[REQUESTING] College IT student here that is about to graduate, every time I get the chance to teach people about things I teach them. Most people I know hate Google but it's their go to for everything. I want to show them that Google is a true innovator and will help technology grow in the right direction.

[REQUESTING] I am a developer looking to try to build something to help folks learn how to waltz in a hurry. I got the idea from practicing for my wedding and then failing miserably during the real thing. I hope to save anyone else from the similar pain and embarrassment.

[REQUESTING] I'm a Mechanical Engineering student in a new city. I enjoy spirited driving on scenic roads and mountain biking. Integrating Glass into my hobbies would give me a chance to review what I can improve on to take them to the next level.

I'm about to start a cross country hitchhiking journey, and Glass is one of the pieces of gear I dream about! being able to seamlessly record as I stand on the side of the road or wander around a city would be amazing. I tried to get in on the ground floor, but hopefully someone here notices this and helps a brother out!

[Requesting] I'm just a nerd who wants to be on the front lines of new technology. I frequently do outdoorsy things, I'll definitely be using the googleglass at the shooting range. I just got out of the army and am enjoying the simple life now. During the winter season I am a skier. Ect. Hope someone can help me out.
-I'm 24.
-I am a us resident.
-I am from vegas, I will gladly drive or fly to cali to pick these up.
-I can pay for the device fairly easily.

Wouldn't it be cool to get some more apps for your Glass?
I'm a developer (living by LA) who would love to contribute to the movement! If I received an invite, I'd make a personalized app for my friend.

[REQUESTING] Hi there! my name is Gilad, and currently a student in Tel Aviv University, and by vacation i voulenteer at Sweden (since I'm a swedish citizen), to study polar bears.

I am just trying my luck here, since Reddit has some karma (pun intended). I live in Israel, yet I have family in NY to pick it up for me. I really love technology, and always get the newest stuff (Android obviously). But since Google Glass wasn't even available in my country, I couldn't get it. And now the buying period is over :(
